WILLY RUSSELL

Award Winning Play Wright.

"I'm delighted to be associated with Clapperboard and glad to be able to make some small contribution to a project that concerns itself with engaging the spirit and creativity of the young. If I was remotely still young myself, I know I would be knocking on Clapperboard's doors and trying to be involved".

INSPECTOR COLIN LEWIS

Merseyside Police Youth Engagement Unit

Merseyside Police is delighted to partner Clapperboard. We work hard on enforcing the law, but we also have a firm focus on engagement and particularly supporting young people to stay safe and make decisions that are right for them and their communities. Clapperboard has supported our fight against violent crime and anti social behaviour. The innovation of young people and the various partnerships at play have had some excellent results. For example, the 'Mischief' production became a powerful tool at a challenging time of the year. Once again, we saw crime and anti social behaviour drop around the Bonfire night period which is great news for everyone.

GEOFF AKROYD

Salford Borough Commander, Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service

"We are very excited about bringing this project to Salford. It's a real opportunity for us as a Fire and Rescue Service to engage with young people from our community about safety issues that affect them such as, arson and anti-social behaviour and give them the chance to make films which will then help to educate other young people"
